Shiri LaraFebruary 3, 2017I got the green curry ramen. It was rich, spicy and very very tasty. The prom was crispy and tender. Make sure you choose your noodle! I vote wavy. And I always add an egg 🥚
Noah WeissJanuary 17, 2014Don't try to be original. Get the green curry ramen and love life. It's a contender for the single best ramen in NYC.
MarcApril 16, 2014Tasting Table's Top Ramen NYC: Tondaku green curry ramen, "sweet-savory, deeply satisfying bowl features halved okra & fried garlic, a pork broth thickened w/coconut milk & bright w/green curry paste"
J CrowleyDecember 11, 2013Deluxe Set - half ramen and chashu donburi is the best of both worlds. So much food you'll need to nap on the bench. But they won't let you. I tried.
Judith CheunNovember 23, 2015Was yummy ramen! Not your traditional style. Tried half portions of all their popular ramen bowls. Def would go back on a cold day in ny!
Serena WJanuary 16, 2015Sizzling potstickers are unique and crispy. Green curry was rather thick than soupy - perhaps try another ramen. Char siu was perfectly crisp and brown. You'd find more authetic ramen in midtown east.
Susan S.September 27, 2015Unique ramen flavors! I love the lemon and black pepper ramen and the green curry ramen. The long dumplings are the perfect appetizer.
Micah ChilesJune 18, 2015The green curry ramen is a must order. The think saucy broth is a nice change of pace from other ramen shops. Definitely add the egg.
héloïseFebruary 2, 2014We got the green curry ramen (rich, with thick noodle), lemon pepper (bright and surprisingly tasty, thin noodle), and tondaku wadashi (sure bet, thin noodle); all were well balanced and delicious.
EvieJanuary 26, 2014Excellent green curry ramen. Not nearly as packed as other New York ramen joints. Make sure you have cash. And yes, just to reiterate what everyone's been saying--heavy spoons and huge chopsticks.
Andrew ShumOctober 24, 2014Good chasiu and soup is fair, but for $15 a bowl, overall experience pales in comparison to the best you can get in the city for the same price.
Holger LüdorfDecember 11, 2013The food is excellent, esp. the Green Curry Ramen, but beware of the fumes! Don't eat here before a job interview unless you apply for a role as sous-chef at a McDonald's burger station.
Ernesto GutierrezNovember 9, 2017Exotic taste on classic ramen dishes. Their broth is very tasty. Pork nicely cooked, adds a lot of flavor. Don’t order the extra egg topping for your ramen since it is served cold.
Varun ShettyDecember 11, 2013Get the deluxe set special at lunch. Lil bit of pork ramen, lil bit of rice and pork. Lots of deliciousness. Bonus: GIANT chopsticks.
AmateurConciergeMarch 10, 2015This US outpost of an inventive Tokyo ramen joint is known for its curry ramen, but I liked the dumplings more than the noodles. Cocoron up the block does curry quite a bit better- Han YuMarch 19, 2014Bassanova’s green curry ramen: aromatic and complex, with loads of fried garlic among excellent roast pork and okra. Green curry and lemon-pepper ramens. - NYT
DailyCandyJanuary 14, 2014A Tokyo import, Bassanova Ramen made waves in the motherland with its innovative green curry ramen. The dish is the standout offering at the Chinatown noodle shop.- david ' dj shakez ' thaiAugust 17, 2014Ramen is good, not great. Pork buns come with lettuce/tomato, takes away from the pork. Stare at the walls/ceiling long enough and you will notice a bunch of blood suckers, kill them all!
- Sofrito inmySoulSeptember 24, 2016Loving the Minced beef on Japanese cucumber at Bassanova Ramen in Chinatown! #ramen #Sofrito #eater #foodie #instafood #Chinatown #canalst
Aja BrandmanJune 10, 2017Such a nice spot in the midst of Chinatown. I got the vegetarian mazemen (no broth) with truffle oil, sooo tasty and full of flavor!
SunainaNovember 5, 2014First time here - ordered the famous green curry. The flavor is right on spot. The chopsticks are huge and top heavy but makes the eating fun. Set them on top of the bowl when you aren't using them.
What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014For something different, try the Tondaku Green Curry Ramen - Green curry soup with Birkshire pork
If you are not in the mood for green curry broth, the soupless ramen comes with delicious thicker noodles and is amazingly well seasoned
Serious EatsAugust 13, 2013Minimalist Tokyo noodle export famed for its unique green curry ramen with grilled shrimp and okra.
CorineeOctober 10, 2013The green curry ramen is certainly tasty BUT 1) portion size is a problem 2) I had one minuscule piece of part of a shrimp 3) I had one okra sliced in halves. So $20 (tip included) was not worth it.
Connie ChiuNovember 12, 2014Not up to the hype. Tried the green curry ramen, yuzu wadashi, pork buns, and donburi. Come for weekday lunch specials.
Mark Chu-CarrollAugust 11, 2013Best ramen in NYC! This place has been hyped like crazy. But it manages to exceed the hype. The green curry ramen is simply unbelievable!
Liz WonDecember 27, 2014This is Tondaku Wadashi Ramen. The broth was just enough salty~ and the noodles held the flavor well~
Stephanie RivkinNovember 4, 2015Authentic and delicious. Make sure to order a dish with the pork broth. Sizzling dumplings are also excellent.
PeteJune 26, 2015Raman was good but a bit too salty. Can add a small glass of hot water and its still flavorful. If you love raman this is still a spot to try and check off your list
Puu KampolratanaDecember 31, 2014Green curry ramen was not as spicy as I'd expected. The lemon and pepper ramen was perfect but the dumpling with yogurt soy sauce was quite a letdown. Good vibe though.
Untapped CitiesNovember 4, 2014More so than a good looking meal, we happen to hit up Bossanova frequently, whenever we desire some of their popular green curry ramen.
FionaNovember 10, 2014I've enjoyed their tondaku ramen twice and would love to return, but I'm very concerned about their perpetually sticky tabletops!
Jacky ChoyJune 7, 2014Ordered the Lemon and Pepper Ramen, portions were a bit small for the cost. But the quality was great. Highly recommended for a place in Chinatown.
Aleson HoApril 8, 2015Not the typical ramen you'll usually get. Also not as hearty and a bit pricey. I like the one with black pepper. They're creative, so I'd go back to try more.
Jamie LiuAugust 18, 2014The ramen noodles are amazing and so is the pork. Although, the ramen is pretty pricy! Definitely recommend!!

Megan DoAugust 14, 2013Green Curry Ramen is what they're known for but the Tondaku Ramen was excellent. Really nice deep, porky broth.
Sit by the kitchen and have the perfect view of the masters at work. Fantastic tonkotsu broth, and baller chopsticks and spoons.- Liz WonDecember 27, 2014This is Tondaku Wadashi Green Curry Ramen. Smelled good like curry~ too much of a hybrid for me. I like my ramen in the original style~
Alex GodinNovember 15, 2013Green curry ramen is fantastic. Donburi is surprisingly delicious. Maybe even better than the ramen.
Laurie PeaSeptember 11, 2013Delicious but needs more soup in their noodles :( its trival but the spoons they provide are too big.. and clumsy
Stephanie TzengOctober 15, 2013Really good okra in the green curry ramen! Also if on the menu, try the ramen burger.
Sara JordanOctober 22, 2014It's not my go to ramen spot in the city but it offers a yummy menu in a cute underground Chinatown spot.
Taylor WaltmonApril 6, 2014Amazing ramen green curry is very good but the broth is a teeny bit heavy but still good
Lisa ElleMarch 8, 2014Berkshire pork buns is a must have! The wait for the food is a lot longer than waiting for the table. Be prepared to smell like food afterwards-ventilation here is pretty weak.
